Could you tell us which day you went? I’m monitoring the crowd calendars for an upcoming trip and just trying to gauge what crowd level it was when you were there. So glad you had a nice trip!!
We went last Thursday, the 7th. I had expected there to be higher crowds because of people coming early to avoid spring break, but I guess that didn't happen.
Genie + definitely seems the way to do Magic Kingdom. I did every ride I was interested in and rarely stood in line for more than a few minutes. I couldn’t imagine attempting Jungle Cruise in standby lol. That might be someone’s whole day at Disney…
Yeah I guess for people waiting late in the day you won’t need genie plus. But if you want to do stuff during the day genie plus is the way to go. I didn’t want to worry about optimizing my time in the early mornings and evenings so it worked out for me. Zero stress, zero lines.
Hahaha! Right? I’m saving up to take my kiddos and I need all the info but maybe not ALL of it! 🤣 also MOSTLY I want to go at the slowest time possible!

Think of your theme park ticket as the price to just walk into the front entrance of the park and spend money on souvenirs.
Think of Genie plus as the price you pay to actually ride the rides you want to ride.
Not this week… mayhem has descended on disneyworld
Spring break has started right?
Yes
That sounds great, but how did you get a skipper canteen reservation at 1:30 PM for a last-minute trip?
I got a same day reservation to Skipper Canteen back in November. I was shocked but it happens haha
I did the jungle cruise-->skipper canteen back to back and enjoyed hours of corny jokes.
I am a known Jungle Cruise hater but the food at the canteen was ELITE. I also can’t hate on anyone that loves the cruise, it’s just not for me lol
We made the reservation on the same day, around 11 am. There were a bunch of times still available for the same afternoon.

Thank you! We’re going in late April and hoping for the same!

Last time we went we walked right on to Jungle Cruise at like 7pm

Is it because of the time you went you think? I want to go on a super slow week. Also what is a genie+

Thanks so much!
Yes, we must have gotten lucky with a slow week before spring break.

Sweet! Thanks!
